flat surface. Mounting adapters are available for installa-

tion on poles, cross-arms, pipes, etc.

The trunnion bracket has a clearance hole for a 3/4-inch

bolt used for attachment to such mountings. The 3/8-inch

holes on either side permit additional anchoring, where

required. Tighten side trunnion bolts to 50 -55 foot

pounds.

2. TENON MOUNTED UNITS — The slipfitter can be

mounted on 1-7/8-inch O.D. through 2-3/8-inch O.D.

Three set screws are used to clamp the floodlight securely to

the pipe. Tighten set screws to 18 -22 foot pounds.

WIRING

Make all electrical connections in accordance with

the National Electrical Code and any applicable local

code requirements.

Verify that supply voltage is correct by comparing it

to nameplate.

Luminaires are supplied with multi-volt (120/208/240/

277 volts) ballasts. If another voltage is designed, remove

wire crimp from ballast and input voltage leads and recon-

nect input voltage lead to ballast lead marked with desired

voltage. Be sure to insulate the previously used ballast lead

with wire nut or other appropriate means.

Connect ground lead to the green lead, green ground

screw on housing or terminal block provided.

Do not remove insulated connectors from wires not

needed for required voltage connection.

These instructions do not purport to cover all details or variations in equipment nor to provide for every possible contingency to be met in connection with installation, operation or

maintenance. Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise which are not covered sufficiently for the purchaser’s purposes, the matter should be referred
